Pope Benedict XVI  declared a Year of Faith to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Vatican II. In celebration of this moment of renewal, I have written a retreat for each month beginning October 11, 2012 through November 24, 2013. This three minute audio retreat is meant to focus on some essential aspects of our faith and to invite us into prayer. I hope you will enjoy the audio version as well as the written text during this year. Please join me now for this eighth  month of reflection and retreat, “Living the Eucharist in the world”.

“In your personal prayer, reflect on how the Eucharist is calling you to heal relationships, serve people in poverty or to offer your gifts in the world.“
